Every time I see someone realize what happens when they buy from a breeder or pet store, it gives me hope that more people will do the same and eventually put bad breeders and millers out of business.

If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by

I would pass a nationwide mandatory spay/neuter law for all pets not being bred for the betterment of the breed. Punishment will be 1,000 hours' community service in their local animal shelter.

What/who changed my life and why

Shadow, a GSD mix who was going to be gassed at Mason Co. Animal Shelter (WV) because nobody wanted to take a chance on him. It's because of him that I became involved in rescue. He was rescued and adopted shortly thereafter by a family in MD.
